Description
I`m Victor(33) , my sister is Marina(35) and togheter with some friends, we have some natural house building initiatives and started a few organic gardens.
Our main focus is now on a tiny glamping that we want to establish.
The place where we want to build is situated on a beautiful mountain area just 55 km from Cluj Napoca. We want to build a few micro cabins made of wood and natural plastering. Beside that we will build compost toilets, sauna and other creative things that will appear in your mind.
We are also members of an NGO that promotes an sustainable way of living. With the NGO we have started building an tiny strawbale house and small strawbale garden.
The location of the project is 70 km from Cluj Napoca.
Thank you volunteers for the help . You were all amazing.

The place where we will stay most of the time is in a quiet mountain village.
The place is wild an beautiful with spectacular views. Many possibilites to hike.
2 hours walk is an old citadel with many rock walls for climbing. 30 km away are Cheile Turzii gorgeous. 25 km away is an mountain lake. 40 km is a very beautiful, old but modernised salt mine.
It will be my pleasure to guide you trough many beautiful places to hike, or visit other places in Romania. In the summer time in our region will be many music festivals.
If you are bored of village quite life, you can have lots of fun in the city of Cluj Napoca, and we can tell you the best places to go.
So staying with us you will have the chance to learn and practice new things in natural buildings, organic permaculture gardens, travel and have fun.
We are still learing many things, so maybe you can teach us something.
